'pistola cal 6,35- SATA = GARDONE V.T. , MADE IN ITALY

The pistol was made in Gardone Van Trompia, a small town in Italy that is home to a Beretta factory, as well as many local manufacturers of firearms.

This pistol was probably manufactured by Sata, an Italian company. It also probably is a derivative of the M1908 pistol. Sata seems to have since gone out of business.

It uses the .25 ACP round, which was an obscure little thing developed at the turn of the 20th century. It was primarily used for tiny, concealable pistols. It's since gone out of favor in terms of a self-defense round.

The first link below has vintage grips for the Sata pistol, at roughly $20. That means that while it's old, it is not yet a collector's item. The second link sells Sata magazines for $25. Again, clearly not a collector's item.

From the size of the grips, my guess is that the Sata pistol you have was originally designed to be concealed. Like many other poorly made Italian pistols, Sata guns did not gain in value and probably have simply disappeared.
